Busy Pickles!

Thought I'd share what we've been up to over the last couple of weeks & also what's to come!

Earlier this month Barbara taught the masking technique with stamping & the girls created these cuties :)

 The stamps they used were Hero Arts Flower Wood Background, 7 Gypsies Lille & Teresa Collins Noel

Jennie & I visited a local WI and 21 ladies all made their own Christmas Decs!

We have a few mini kits available here!

Marion shared another Fabulous Vintage style Mini Album, so elegant :)

This morning Barbara taught a fabulous concertina folded mini book, lovely!

and this afternoon, Jane, myself, Carol, Meryl & Sandra "finally" finished our Circle Journals Yay!

Coming up we have all sorts of Workshops.

There's Scrapbook Design with Jane on Tuesday morning,

an Amazing Countdown to Christmas piano hinge book next Saturday also with Jane,

Next Monday 28th make a cute Belly Band Petal card with Barbara

and on Tuesday 28th a Brilliantly organised Christmas File Book with Julie

In December we are hosting more workshops and oodles of crops, come along & make those last minute cards, Tims Tags & for anyone participating in Shimelles Journal workshop, we'll provide the tranquility for you to get on with no distractions. Help yourself to our stamps & dies whilst munching on mince pies & slurping a coffee or two!

See you soon!

Hero Arts Woodgrain Stamp Card

Had a wee play with one of the new

stamps by Hero Arts :)

I also used Tim's Retro Papers, an Adage Ticket

then a Jolee's Fleur de Lis.

Quick and Easy :)

(oooh & the cute paper in the background is new
from KaiserCraft!)
